Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal
atmospheric pressure. For example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear
because the breathing equipment allows divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure
exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth in seawater, so that
at 30 meters in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4 atmospheres. The pressure of the
gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwise breathing is very
difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 meter are present at five
times their usual pressure. Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a
balmy feeling of well-being at this pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms
resembling alcohol intoxication, known as nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from
a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the blood. Deep dives are less
dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not exert a
similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases. Nitrogen then
diffuses from the lungs to the blood, and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs when the
diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into
the blood, and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the
tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed. They can cause
severe pains, particularly around the joints.
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent. During ascent from a depth
of 10 meters, the volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only
half of what it was at 10 meters. This change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even
rupture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this event, a diver must ascend slowly, never

at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ascent.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently
linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of
devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen
without them.

The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the
outer layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates.
There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle,
which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant – yet slow – motion. The plates may move away
from or toward other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The
movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When

it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet
they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges,
and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might
even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water
in the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and
moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely
quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets
sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A
large tsunami – one more than ten meters in height – can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood
the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 23: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
B. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
C. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
